I get frustrated by the double standard they use when judging people. They let certain people go sa
What do you think about the voting process?
to frustrated QA
Maybe the hostility from MTs is really resentment for your arrogance. You seem pretty condescending in these posts. Just because you have a QA position does not mean you are an expert in the English language or in Medical Terminology. I've gotten plenty of feedback from QA people that was wrong. The road runs both ways.
Frustrated with IE7 SM
Someone mentioned making sure IE6 was uninstalled. Well, I couldn't find any IE6 to uninstall. It is not there, yet that was what I was operating on. I installed IE7 again to give it another try. I started having the same problems and decided to uninstall it again. Well, my computer freaked out! I couldn't get on the internet at all. I finally was able to get through windows update back to reinstall IE7 again. It worked great again, other than the problems I was having. I went over and downloaded Firefox. It's great and I am loving it. Plus, it is more secure than any IE program. Anyone having problems, I would suggest this to you.
just frustrated
Because they said the only thing they could do was charge off as a bad debt. It was crazy. The reason I was working three jobs is have you ever fallen behind? Have you ever made a late payment? Well, guess what, the charges are amazing when you miss a payment or make a late payment. It all added up. I actually have them paid off, or finishing paying them off, they just show up bad and bring your score down . . . it's crazy. They stay on your report for like 7 or 8 years. So, just venting, I guess . . thought maybe I could find someone in the same position and share . . .
Frustrated? Where did that come from?
I was wondering why, seems in the last day or so, the ongoing preaching regarding every post. I am sure same person because the posts start with re:, same picture inside and closing with scripture. Not frustrated, just sounds like a broken record to me, over and over and over and you get the picture. I am not offended either, lived too many years for that.
Dear Frustrated:
First let me say I'll keep you and your family in my prayers. I hope he comes to his senses and makes the right decision. I hope my post doesn't seem harsh, because it is not meant to be and I hope it doesn't come across that way.
Wow, I guess I have to consider myself lucky. I'll tell you my story, but I guess my advice would be to suggest the Army if he wants to switch schools. If he thinks he is miserable where he is at now, he could try being a soldier, going through boot camp, being away from family and friends, eating MREs, working 16-hours days with no time off, not being able to shower, sleeping in a ditch, etc. Once he puts 4 years in he could go to college on the GI bill.
When my son graduated from boot camp we went to his graduation at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. One of the speakers made a statement and I find this is so true. His statement was, "We've managed to do in 9 weeks what you've been trying to do for 18 years."
My son was always a good kid too, never into any trouble, but now he was a man. I could see the difference already. We took him out to dinner and he was calling the waitress Ma'am.
My son left a week after high school graduation for the Army (his choice, certainly not mine, I didn't want him to go). He spent four years in the Army, 3 of which were spent in Germany. When he joined he received a $5000 sign-on bonus. He managed to travel to 25 different countries while in Europe. At the end of his 4 years, he had saved over $20,000 for college. He is in his 3rd year of college now and has taken the maximum number of credits that is allowed and he will graduate in May with 2 degrees, having completed that in 3 years, not 4. His first summer between years 1 and 2 he worked as an intern at a law office, contemplating becoming a lawyer. The second summer between years 2 and 3 he worked for a gas company changing gas meters in the sweltering heat. Soon he'll be done and off to grad school. He's been on the dean's list each semester. The only contribution my husband and I have given him towards his education is a new car to drive and we pay the car insurance. No cash, never paid for any books, never paid a phone bill, nothing, well, except for maybe some treat boxes with food, but that's it.
If you are contributing a significant amount to his education or upkeep then you have more power to dictate to him what he can/can't do regarding the phone bill, what you expect of him as far as grades, etc. I agree with you that if he decides to switch, he is on his own.
We as mothers tend to have the soft spots whereas fathers are more hardened. I can't tell you how many tears I've cried when my son missed his first Christmas home and missed celebrating his 21st birthday at home, had to go to Kuwait, etc.
We do have to let them fall sometimes and see if they can get up on their own, just like when they were toddlers learning to walk.
You should not feel like you are to blame for anything that may happen because of the way you raised him. We have no control over the influences of others on our children. We can only hope their upbringing is still deep rooted in there somewhere and they will make the right decisions. They might make mistakes, but they will learn. We cannot make all of the decisions for them or keep them from making mistakes or they will not learn from them.
I hope everything turns out okay for all of you.
Thank you, but I'm so frustrated tonight
as my daughter just came in crying (it's way past her bedtime) afraid that she's going to miss her advanced-math class that she's in because they do group work and there's really no way to make it up once she misses it. This kid even goes to school SICK because she doesn't want to miss school! She's a type A personality, minus the chit-chat.
I never thought I'd have a kid beg me to sign a paper that tells the school to paddle her, but that's exactly what she wants. How do I argue with her when she doesn't want her grade to be affected?
I went through their school handbook tonight with a fine toothed comb and see that indeed corporal punishment versus ISS is the choice in frequent tardies. I've heard rumors that the principal of her school is not very friendly, so I'm really not excited about having to discuss this with him (I'm having a few mini-crises myself right now, and with the holidays, this really is stressing me out).
I want to take the simple way and just sign her paper, but then I don't know, is that really the right thing to do? Probably not.
Calgon, take me away!
You must be totally frustrated
I'm not from your area, so sorry I don't have any recommendations (although I did go to Daytona Beach when I was 18 years old for a vacation - loved the beach). If I ever have to go to the doc I don't think I would ever tell them I'm an MT (mainly because of what you just said above). I would go without telling him what I do, listen to what he says and then if you don't agree I'd tell him I want to get a second opinion. Or if I was bold enough I might ask him who he sees when he is sick (or what he takes so he doesn't get sick because the attitudes of the docs suck). Kind of reminds me of the movie about the doc who got sick and found out what it was like to be a regular patient with nobody paying attention to you or giving you the answers you want.
I Have Never Been So Frustrated In My Life
I asked my sweet hubby for a sewing machine as I wanted to learn the basics of sewing. I cannot for the life of me get this machine to work. I was able to somehow get it right once to use it to mess with but I cannot seem to get it right. These machines are so finicky. I took it to a repair shop the other day because my friend who can use a machine couldnt figure it out either. They fixed the tension etc on the machine and told me a couple tips about the bobbin. Worked perfectly fine when they did it. I get it home and cannot get the &*(* thing to work to save my life. I have threaded and rethreaded, got my book out and tried again. Have taken the bobbin out and tried to put it back in a hundred times and it is a mess. I am ready to throw the *(^% thing out the window!!!! I cant learn to do even a basic thing cause I can't seem to get the machine going to start with. AARRGGHHHH
Frustrated with eye doctor!
I'm so.... grrrrrr.... don't have a word for it. I have been waiting for an appointment with my eye doctor for weeks. The office was booked solid, but I thought I had a lucky break yesterday when they called saying they had a cancellation, and I could come in today. Great! My glasses and contacts are way too old, and I really need new prescriptions. I was so happy to speed up the process... I thought.
I went to the office and arrived 5 minutes early. Completed all the paperwork, etc., sat down and waited and waited and waited. The waiting room was packed. One woman sitting next to me made a phone call on her cell, and I overheard her saying that she was going to find another eye care provider because of these waits. This was only my second time at this office, so I really don't know if this is the usual situation. But I thought I'll just see how it all plays out. One full hour after my scheduled appointment, I still hadn't been called in. I went to the desk and asked if I'd be seen soon. I was given no explanation, but was told that the doctor would be calling me "soon". I know a brush off when I hear one! I waited another 20 minutes, and this time I went to the receptionist and explained as calmy as I could that I had waited 1 hour and 20 minutes, and I should be back at work by now, yet I still haven't gotten in to see the doctor. I told her I was about to walk out, and you know it... she told me that they bill $50 for canceled appointments. My jaw dropped, and I said "WHAT! ARE YOU CRAZY?? I WAS HERE ON TIME." Several other people in the waiting room made sounds of assent, I heard one or two people say, "Me, too!"
Just then, the doctor came out and called my name. I follow him back, and I was definitely voicing my displeasure. He apologized and then explained he was the intern and would be doing the preliminary examination. SIGH. We go through all the history taking, basic exam, measurements, etc. Then he left and said the doc will be coming soon. Ten minutes go by. I'm fuming again. The intern came back and said he was sorry, but the doctor is "behind schedule", and moved me to yet another waiting area just outside the doctor's exam room.
I waited another 15 minutes to see the eye doctor, and guess what. He repeated all of the exam that the intern had just done. Now, I'm glad that the doctor was being thorough and rechecked all the intern's notes. However, I can't help but feel that I basically waited so long because the intern had gotten behind in the schedule, and I ended up being there for him to practice on.
Don't worry! I said all of this to the doctor. At the end of the appointment, he walked with me to the receptionist and told her to waive the co-pay, and he also made sure that I was scheduled for the first appointment of the day for my followup when my new contacts are in.
It pays to be a squeaky wheel, I suppose. But, since I had blurred vision for a while after having my pupils dilated, I couldn't work for quite some time after I got home. I'll be up late tonight working to catch up on lines.
Grrrr, grrrrr, and double grrrrrr.
I am so dang frustrated!!!!
Whatever happened to the customer is right and we will do whatever it takes to make you happy?
I have now been on the phone with Vonage for 30 minutes and this is my 3rd phone call in as many days. I changed my billing information this weekend and when I did they put 2 test charge holds on my account of $15 each. Now my bank says they cannot release these holds, that it has to come from Vonage.
The first call, they told me within 2 hours they would have it released, to check back my account. The second call, the same scenario. Let them check with that department, please hold..... yes, they will release your money immediately. Now, third call and I have this very irritating woman with an American name (which of course is not her name since I have to listen very carefully to understand a word out of her ESL mouth) who keeps informing me there is nothing to be done and she is sorry but a supervisor is not available and she is so sorry, but no supervisor is available and if they were available they would still tell me that there is nothing they can do for me... put me on hold, play elevator music, answer again and say, I am so sorry, miss, there is noone available to take your complaint other than myself and if there were,,, blah...blah... blah
Even if.... even if.... I am sorry... as much as I want to....
Me again! I am so frustrated, scared, and upset over here. I'm sorry, but sm
my husband doesn't understand and my other friends homeschool (as do I), so I have no one to talk to about this. My 3-1/2 year old has been crying all day. What is wrong with him? Not crying, but unplugging stuff for my computer, unfolding laundry, taking DVDs and throwing them all over the floor. So, I spanked him, yet again, and nothing is working. I sincerely cannot take this. I cannot, I cannot, I cannot. I have to put him in a program somewhere.
I am crying so hard right now because my husband and I are both advocates for homeschooling and having the children at home. I am suffering having to spend the majority of my day spaking and disciplining an unruly child which gives me no time to homeschool his brothers. They (the other brothers) hate to see their little bro get into trouble, but what is one supposed to do? There are 3 of them and 1 of me. I just lost it a few minutes ago as he just started tearing things up again. Here are the options: Get rid of every single electronic thing in my household (including my work computer), tv's, Playstation 2(which is 10 year old brother loves), and everything else and go back to the days of old where it was just mom, kids, and dad at work. I'm seriously thinking he is just too distracted and can't help it. OR solution #2, put him in daycare somewhere (this makes me cringe, cry, sob- because he will be just a number there (I know - I worked for one for a long time - I don't care what anyone says), or in a pre-K program somewhere, but around here they only last for 2 hours (GA). I know, because I've checked.
Anyone else with similar situation? I'm thinking of putting them all in school so I can work since I have to work. Our expenses outweigh husband's income. I must work. I only work at night,though, so that isn't an issue during the day. I am at my wits end. I know if I work, though, a lot if it will go towards daycare. But inside my head and heart, I can't take this. I don't know why, I just can't do this anymore. 
Frustrated by Google map route? Solution
I was just playing around with a route that Google map gave for a particular To and From location, and was frustrated (as usual!) with the illogical-appearing route it chose. I never knew you could click on the map and have the option of Change Route appear, but you can! You just drag the mouse to the route you'd like, and it will reconfigure the way you want to see. NATURALLY the route you chose really does turn out to be shorter in distance and time. Problem solved!
you can give the people the facts, but the decision making process should be left to the people
This is what our country is founded on FREEDOM OF CHOICE! I'm laughing already; you are just as mortal as the rest of us, and don' even attempt to that you've never done anything in your lifetime that was unsafe or unhealthy. NOT gonna buy it.
it is wonderful to see how many people have such strong opinions about people in debt.
I thought that the purpose of this board was to be able to post without being judged unfairly or have somebody tell you how wonderful their personal life is, and therefore you are causing their life to be less wonderful with your irresponsibility. Well, the saying "walk a mile in my shoes" is a good one in this case. Since you have no personal information about the person you are lambasting because they are looking for information on their debt, you can feel superior. Had you had personal information about them, you might act in a more human manner. Consider fighting cancer for 4 years, working and being debilitated while you do, suffering the effects of chemo, going into debt to maintain your home for your children and looking for a way out of debt SHOULD YOU EVEN LIVE THROUGH THIS!! Thank you for the kind comments. To the judgmental people I say please take a step back before you judge. You do not know who you are talking to and if you knew the personal information maybe your comments would be kinder.
People who go around calling other people "low class"
have their own issues in life. Ignore them. Nothing like a misplaced superiority complex to make a person feel good about themselves. Like they've never done anything gauche or made a faux pas. It must be nice for them to be so perfect and live in a glass house.
For that matter, you probably saved your piggy's life by popping that mondo zit! It could have gotten infected or something.... (yes, I have a zit popping fixation myself, but you were really descriptive on that pig zit. gag LOL)
Man, you would have appreciated the time one of my relative's popped a HUGE cyst on her face. I was standing right next to her at the time and leaned back because I knew it was going to blow. It did! Big time! All over the wall, mirror and light fixture. I'm still disgusted by the thought of it 10 years later. LOL In a revering kind of way...
some people did, some people didn't. It's their choice.

If this helps...I know people who know people (sm)
who can make people disappear. 
Not really--I'd be lyin' if I said I never thought such things though! ;-)
IME, people don't feel sorry for fat people either
They actually have less sympathy than they do for people who have substance abuse, IME.
At any rate, I do feel sorry for Britney but the safety of her children should be everyone's first priority, then her safety. It would seem to me that all these hangers-on she has are jeopardizing that safety. It's all just very sad.
Some people just look at me
like I am crazy. You should see the looks I get when she rides on my shoulder in the car. Most people associate rats with dirty animals, etc. They are just like a hamster, only very smart animals. Plus they don't bite like hamsters or try and get away from you. They want to be around you. They are very loyal and love attention. She's my baby.
Unfortunately, she has a cyst growing under her arm now though. She is getting old, and I know her time is coming. :(
OMG! You people are bad, bad, bad!!! I'm going to
!
For me, over 25 people to buy for......
including mine and my husband's immediate families we see separately Christmas eve and Christmas day. We also visit grandparents, aunts, cousins, etc. a week later. We don't have kids yet so still spend a few hundred on each other. It is probably closer to 1500 combined for us.
What about NJ? People here act like
they're the best beaches in the world and I can assure you they are NOT. LBI is the cute nickname now given to Long Beach Island which is a dump as are most NJ beaches and everyone acts like it's the Hamptons or something. Been to NC outer banks and loved it. No comparison.
I think there need to be more people...
in the world like you! You are doing a wonderful thing and are a shining example to your children!
Pet (Dog in particular) people -
I have a Lab/Pit mix, probably 8 or 9 years old, who has a terrible problem with itching and scratching all over. I am hoping someone on this site has a solution for us.
I will tell you what we have tried that has not worked.
Benadryl has not worked. Seemed to help initially but stopped it and she shows no change.
Changing her food has not worked. Have tried all kinds of food, wheat free, have not helped.
Adding oil to her food, 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil twice a day, has not helped. Seemed to help initially but she went back to scratching.
Getting her groomed with dry skin shampoo/conditioner has not helped.
What DID help was steroid injection and prednisone pills on a tapering dose. But once the dose was tapered down, she started scratching some. I dont want her on steroids indefinitely. PLUS, the steroids made her very very aggressive and being part pitbull, that was not a good thing.
When it gets to the point that she and I are both waking up multiple times during the night, I have to go back to steroids. Before I do that, I wonder if anyone reading this has another remedy we could try before going to steroid route.
We also have a cat and I am beginning to think she may be allergic to the cat. Do you think this is possible? My vet technician told me it is possible but it would involve costly allergy testing and injections if it proves positive. Would like opinions from others before I take her for allergy testing.
Any info anyone could provide would sure be appreciated, not only by me but by my best friend who is suffering with this.
Thank you!
um, a lot of people don't go to the, uh, gym.

I know 5 people who have had this...sm
1 has kept the weight they lost off.
2 had major complications after the surgery and 1 almost died - he was healthy before surgery.
4 lost weight but have regained most if not all of it. You can restretch the stomach back out by eating too much.
I like those too - I know a lot of people don't :-)

Yes, but LL should have people to look out for her
be watched 24/7, but LL could be and should be. She should be protected and anyone with any interest in this girl, either for financial or other, such as her mother, should be helping her better than this.
IMO there is no excuse for this. Maybe I am being harsh, but give me a break already with these celebs.
Just like with people
Recovering from surgery (procedures done with anesthesia) when they're older is harder for them, and you have to be super careful that they don't have any conditions that could be worsened by the medications. Please try everything you can before getting them declawed. I'm lucky, my cats love their scratch posts, but they also love picking at the carpet. I just buy rugs and stick them all over the place!
Those people should have given you (sm)
thank you notes BUT, when you give you have to give with a free and willing heart and not expect anything in return - even a thank you - because you will only get bitter waiting. Only give when you really want to and feel the need to and you will feel better about it I think.
re: people
Just me,
The Bible says in Jeremiah 17:9:
"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it?"
It is our sin nature to commit sin and we're all born with it. I don't know what the percentage of sexual sin is, but I do know that it is getting more and more prevalent and has been around since bible days because we are all born sinners and we all need Jesus to save us. That doesn't mean that after we accept Jesus we stop sinning, but are more likely to be faithful when we know the Lord.
God bless!
Jan
Pod people.
It's the only explanation. How can you not talk to people in an environment like that?!
This really is about the right age when most people do this (sm)
I was 18 and that was 20 years ago. You cannot make her not do it. I would strongly focus right now on teaching her all the possible STDs - I mean seriously teaching her - because I got herpes from oral sex when I was 21 and did not even know you could get it that way. Just sit down with her and say, "well you have decided to do this and I don't agree with it, BUT since you are, let's look up every possible bad thing that can happen" and make sure she is extremely well informed. Even find scary pictures of HPV and look up hep B and hep C and herpes and every STD you can think of. At least then she probably will not be promiscuous and will be choosy and careful about who she is with.
and once again, people come in here and can....n/m
Why do people have to
make reference to a person other than "did that nice woman smile at you?"??? If she had been obese instead, would they have said..."Did that fat lady smile at you?" Just annoys me how insensitive people can be and how they can be quick to label a person without even knowing anything about them.
I would have been offended myself in this situation. HOW RUDE!
i know this will ^&*()$% people off
I personally would never have an abortion, but think of all the people who were aborted instead of being born. Maybe there is another reason that they were aborted and that society is better off as a whole because of it.
Yep. People just don't think - nm

I know some people that took their son's
room away. He was about 13 and they had only been living in their new house a few months. His bedroom was in the basement with the rest of the family on the second floor. He loved his room soooo much. This was not really a bad kid, just wouldn't do homework, chores, picked on his sister, really just immature. They made him move into his little brother's room. His LB was 4 so he obviously loved having big bro for a roommate. Straightened him out rather quickly.
IMO, most people won't say anything
so i would suggest you definitely keep your eyes and ears open. chances are, being it was brought to your attention, there may be something to it.
Depending upon the gravity of it all, you may want to do some snooping, and/or check financial records and such. Whatever you do, 'protect yourself at all times',ie, cover your bases. Trust is so important with a spouse, but not a blind trust.
Depending upon other factors, you may or may not confront your spouse, but likely not. There, you lose the element of surprise, and if something is up, the coverup will be more elaborate and harder to penetrate.
two people
if at all possible, but I don't have any help and rarely do I need to bathe them, only time has been when they had a brief flea outbreak. But if you have no help, just hold by the ruff of the back of the neck and since mine are adults, I let there back feet touch the ground so as not to hold them there by their full weight and do the best I can with washing them with one hand. I do it in the bathtub with a sprayer I have attached to my shower head.
For people our age I think
hair should not as long as Meredith's, just turned to see her because I really do not want her show that often. No matter how nice the color, the shine, etc. I think keeping any longer only ages a person. I try to keep mine ear length, any longer only bothers me.
I think too many people....
automatically think spanking is abuse because they have become brainwashed by society, government, etc. Adults CAN draw the line and I don't think there are too many that "beat" their kids. I was also spanked as a child, never beat, and raised my kids spanking them ONLY if needed. I NEVER smacked them across the face as that is humuliating to the child and my point was never to humuliate my kids but to instill what is accepted and not accepted.
My sister-in-law raised her kids on timeout and the never ending "talks". Five minutes later they were doing the exact same thing they were timed out for. Her kids are now teenagers. They are smart mouthed, have no respect for people, she is unable to control them which in turn she lets them do what they want, bribes them to "behave", etc. They come from a loving, good home but I see nothing but trouble in the future for them as they have no boundries of what and what is not accepted.
My kids were raised getting a spank or two on the behind with a firm no (never a beating or screaming at them). They have turned into respectful, caring, responsible adults with no side affects from the spanking. I ask them to do something and they do it without back talk. They call their elders Mr or Mrs. They turned out to be well adjusted, happy kids with many friends as it was instilled into them to respect people as they would like to be respected.
Unfortunately, society and the government, etc., has gotten involved with raising OUR kids. They need to step back and worry about their own kids. I for one do not worry when my kids are out at night, they are not driving and drinking, they are not stealing, not doing drugs, etc. They are not perfect and can be a pain in the a** at times, but I know I raised them right and I raised them as I see fit - not how society would want me to raise them.
I do not spank them anymore as there is no need to. That stopped at 8 or 9 years old - they knew what was right and wrong by that time. If they do something I do not like, I now talk with them. There are times that does not work and then I take away privileges such as driving, etc.
Too many people confuse beating and spanking - spanking is not beating!!
People have to eat, so it
is easy to get addicted to food. Smoking, on the other hand, is a ridiculous act of a person who wanted to rebel when they were young and got caught by addiction.
people don't get it...
The reason he probably has the bible on his desk it to have an "open" door for someone. Think about it. If someone is reading a book on say, giraffes, and your curious about giraffes, maybe after awhile you'll say "hey, can you tell me about giraffes?"
I understand now adays there are a lot of "pushy" Christians, and there are also people who are Sunday Christians, and there are Christians who don't practice what they preach. But there are also good, honest, caring Christians who really do want to help you find Jesus and save your soul from he-ll. yes, he-ll. It's real btw.
I'm not trying to start an arguement, but don't condemn this man that you have never met of "trying to make a statement" or "being a pushy Christian." Maybe that bible is on his desk so that one day a co-worker, student, friend, etc will say "what's that thing all about anyways?"
The worst thing this country ever did was take Christianity out of schools. Obviously when we have third graders plotting to kill teachers, we have done something very, very wrong.
Have you ever met one of those people...
who just drive you crazy? You know the type where anything that comes out of their mouth is negative, nothing is ever new and they have something bad to say about EVERYTHING? Had to deal with one this weekend and just wanted to scream!
I can't believe you people sm
This was a significant bite, and nothing was done about it.
Gah...some people...
My ex-SIL used to say all the danged time that she was pregnant, once with twins, then a single, oops...twins again, on and on. Inevitably she'd always end up *miscarrying* for one reason or another! For this situation, however, I wouldn't believe it til I see it...some people just really get on my nerves with their attention-seeking behavior...I think they need therapy.
Do please let us know when she stars on Jerry Springer, this sounds right up his alley!
There are people
who view their pet(s) as children because it is all they have. Our dogs have always been a big part of our family and are viewed as one of our children. Dog aggression/people aggression, it is all the same. Aggression is aggression and can easily be turned toward both human and animal given the right situation. You cannot possibly predict what will happen. It could be that one day your dog decides not to listen to you when in an aggressive state and not come back when called. Our Pitbull was very obedient, did not even need a leash (hah in hindsight), although was never off one out in public except at the ranch. She was one of the best behaved, most obedient dog at the ranch except for the Border Collie mix she nearly killed, who was trained for herding and was amazing at it. You know the potential is there for your dog to do serious damage and I hope you are never put in the position we were. It happens so fast, in the blink of any eye many lives are affected and changed forever.
people ...
1. someone is driving on the freeway ...sitting on my butt (road-rage-speak for "I want to pass you") -- and then when I move into a different lane to let them by, they get off at the VERY NEXT off ramp. I hate this.
2. crack their gum in movie theaters.
